Very nice economical Tokoname teapot, good for young enthusiast on budget like myself who needs functional everyday teapot. Obi-ami-esque filter inside works well for multiple infusions. Fast delivery! Very pleased.

Although we are shipping orders within our normal 24 hours of receiving them time frame (actually, it's usually 8 hours or less), we are finding the actual *delivery* of parcels to be exceptionally delayed at this time, especially the Northeastern United States. This includes EMS parcels, which are currently failing to even show tracking once they leave Japan.

Because of the effects of winter storms along the U.S., there may be delays in delivery of mail in the regions listed below. Furthermore, there may also be considerable delays in the arrival of mail sent from this region to Japan.

I have just received my Shincha tea - Uji Kirameki and Yataka Midori - and both taste wonderful. Opening those packets and smelling the sweetness, I knew that the tea would be a wonderful drink! And they both taste absolutely delicious! The packaging was secure and the shipping was quick! Thank you very much.
